Kate Beckinsale has confirmed she is 'safe' and feeling 'grateful' after being evacuated from her Los Angeles home at 3am as wildfires encroached on her property.

Emergency: Kate Beckinsale was evacuated from her home at 3am when Los Angeles was hit with new wildfires
The British-born thespian told her Instagram followers how the situation was worsened because she cannot drive, meaning she had no obvious escape route.
Kate posted: 'We are safe. Thank you so much to everyone who checked in.
'Sending love and hope to everyone else who walked out of their house at 3 am to this, love and admiration to the @losangelesfiredepartment and most of all to David and Dorothy who didn’t need to remember in the middle of the night that I can’t drive but did.
'And to everyone who has offered me a place to stay despite my rolling with four animals including an epileptic cat. Angel people. So grateful x'.

A wildfire swept through the star-studded hills of Los Angeles on Monday, destroying several homes and forcing basketball star LeBron James, Arnold Swarzenegger, and thousands of others to flee.
The flames roared up a steep hillside near the J Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles’ Brentwood after high winds in the area.
'Man these LA (fires) are no joke,' LeBron tweeted, the Los Angeles Lakers, adding: 'Crazy night.'

The Hollywood premiere of actor and former state governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator: Dark Fate was cancelled and the star revealed he had been evacuated alongside his family.
He tweeted: 'If you are in an evacuation zone, don't screw around. Get out.'
Dramatic footage showed flames rapidly spreading towards the eight-bedroom Brentwood mansion of actor Josh Duhamel.
He bought the 8,232 sq ft sprawling property with then-wife Fergie for $5.2million in 2007.
Kate Hudson was seen getting into her vehicle in the upscale Pacific Palisades neighborhood to evacuate early Monday morning as the threat of fire loomed large.
Kathy Griffin tweeted a video of the flames fast approaching her home.
She tweeted: 'No, I'm not one of those a-holes stopping on the side of the freeway to get this video. Took it from my driveway. Endless thanks @LAFD @LAPDHQ and all first responders. They are tireless heroes!#GettyFire'.
The evacuation area extended west into Pacific Palisades, encompassing some of the most exclusive real estate in California, where celebrities and wealthy professionals live.

Others who own homes in the evacuation zone include Senator Kamala Harris, a Democrat running for president, who was not home at the time, Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger, and rapper and producer Dr Dre.
At least eight homes were destroyed and six damaged in the LA-area blaze, fire officials said.
Meanwhile, a blaze in Northern California wine country has exploded in size. No deaths from either blaze were reported.
Some 2.2 million people were without electricity after California’s biggest utility, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), shut it off over the weekend in the northern part of the state to prevent its equipment from sparking blazes during windy weather.
PG&E warned more deliberate blackouts were possible in the coming days because another round of strong winds is expected.

The company, which was driven into bankruptcy after its equipment ignited several deadly wildfires in recent years, admitted on Monday that despite the outages, its power lines may have started two smaller fires over the weekend in the San Francisco Bay area.
PG&E also has said its transmission lines may have been responsible for the Sonoma County fire.
That blaze, which broke out last week amid the vineyards and wineries north of San Francisco, grew to at least 116 square miles, destroying 123 buildings including 57 homes, damaging another dozen homes and threatening 90,000 more structures, authorities said.
Although some 30,000 people were allowed back home on Monday, about 156,000 people were still under evacuation orders because of the fire, mostly from the city of Santa Rosa.
People on the eastern side of the fire and in neighbouring Lake County also were given evacuation warnings to be prepared to leave because of changing winds.
